<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1749104, member: 19463"]The Papia matter gets more interesting the more I look. Wildwinds has a great list:</p><p><a href="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/rsc/papia/i.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/rsc/papia/i.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/rsc/papia/i.html</a></p><p>Their type 122 is listed as snake/dog but if you click on text for that coin you will see that CNG sold the example under the name lizard which I consider a better answer. The two symbols on one coin are suppose to relate in some way but the relarion is not always obvious to us. One I like is a rectangle with letters on it (P for one) and an urn of some type. The rectangle is a ballot and the urn is a ballot box. The P on the ballot shows it was filled out to vote for Papius. I'd like to see a really clear one to see how much more is on that ballot. The Wildwind listing says PAPI but I don't see it on their photo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
